Made In 8-inch Stainless Clad Frying Pan

Made In's 8 inch Stainless Clad Frying Pan is a professional-grade, 5-ply stainless pan sized for single portions and small-batch cooking, the size a busy kitchen keeps closest at hand.

At 8 inches, this is the pan for eggs, small sauces, and searing individual portions of delicate proteins like scallops or small fillets, where you want the pan to hold its heat the moment cold food hits the metal. Because it is oven and broiler safe to 800°F, well above most nonstick cookware, it can go straight from stovetop to oven to finish a dish under high, direct heat. Stainless is not the best choice for very sticky, low-fat cooking, where a nonstick surface performs better; it excels instead at high-heat searing and building fond for pan sauces.

Compared to All-Clad's D3 line, a common point of comparison in this category, Made In's pan uses 5-ply construction rather than D3's 3-ply, giving it more layers of thermal mass, and is rated to a notably higher 800°F versus D3's 600°F. Made In's Stainless Clad line also comes in 10 inch and 12 inch sizes; this 8 inch model is the one to choose for single servings or a smaller household, while the larger sizes suit cooking multiple portions at once.

Made in Italy, with some components sourced domestically, this pan features Made In's proprietary Stay-Cool Handle, a hollow stainless steel handle designed to stay cooler to the touch during stovetop cooking, and is compatible with gas, electric, and induction cooktops. It is dishwasher safe, though Made In recommends hand washing to keep the finish looking its best over time, and is backed by a lifetime warranty.
